Police have arrested 17 people and shut six London Underground stations during a chaotic night of partying to mark the last day of drinking on the Tube.A booze ban is now in effect on the Tube, London buses, Docklands Light Railway and tram services across the capital.Passengers are no longer allowed to drink from or carry open containers of alcohol.The measure was announced earlier this month by new London mayor Boris Johnson.But a night that started in a celebratory mood soon turned sour as thousands of revellers poured into London's Tube stations. Four train drivers and three other London Underground staff were assaulted, one police vehicle damaged, two officers assaulted and another injured.A spokesman for British Transport Police said 17 people were arrested for offences like assault, drunk and disorderly, assault on police, public order-related offences and drug offences.The Tube stations closed by police were Liverpool Street, Euston, Euston Square, Aldgate, Gloucester Road and Baker Street.Eyewitnesses said there were nightmarish scenes on trains and in stations as thousands of drunken partygoers began fighting and vomiting as the night drew to a conclusion.
Photographer Desmond Fitzgerald, 48, from Croydon, feared someone would fall into the path of an oncoming train at Gloucester Road because the platform was packed with people and slippery from spilled alcohol. He said: "A fight broke out between about five people, but because we were so tightly packed in it soon spread throughout the carriage and I had to struggle to escape to the next one." David Mudkips, 25, a web programmer from Hackney, described the experience on the train as: "Like rush hour but fun. There were people's sweaty armpits in my face but I didn't care because I was drinking."
